 Can you believe we are already in the last quarter of 2025? Our Association has experienced tremendous growth and change this year, and I want to take a moment to thank each of you for the role you have played in that progress. A special thanks goes to all the members who supported our Annual Golf Tournament in San Antonio — job well done! I would also like to recognize the Colorado Air Academy Chapter for stepping up to accept my challenge and support this year’s TAPS Stomp the Hill. The chapter members, including our Grand Knight Sir Scott L. Ytzen, NCOA Board Member Ashley R. Gardner, and her mother, made a lasting impression on TAPS leadership and the more than 150 Gold Star family members in attendance. Our Director of Government Affairs, Mr. Levi Sadi, set the stage for NCOA’s future engagement with TAPS by delivering clear, impactful legislative insights in the halls of Congress. I encourage more chapters to join us next year for this meaningful event and to gain valuable person-to-person legislative experience. As we enter the final quarter of the year, I ask that you keep the well-being of your chapter members in mind. With our nation currently facing a government shutdown, checking in on one another is vital — not only for our membership but also for the communities we serve. Finally, I have had the distinct honor of presenting several of our Medallions while at sea. Each time, I am reminded of the deep pride and joy that comes with recognizing the service of our Active Duty members and Veterans. This tradition continues to embody the heart of the NCOA. Please take some time to review the TAPS Legislative Priorities for the 119th Congress at taps.org/advocacy. Change comes when you take the time to write your congressional leader and ask for their support in these important Legislative future bills. Thank you for all you do to keep our Association strong and united. Respectfully, Garry McClure Force Master Chief (RET), USN President, Non Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA) [email protected] Comments are closed.
